West London Bike Polo

I can't wait till i'm home now....
This is my polo mallet:

Might be able to get some more as our club has bought some more new ones.
got a match this weekend. anyone in oxford should come watch the most violent sport in the world.

Now i just need a bike.....

Thursday seems popular.
Can VB retrospectively set up a poll on this thread to see which day we should have it?

Yeah I can.

What's the question, and what are the options?

well i'm going to the pub, get pissed and then come down to abuse you all :)
thurs is westend beers

Don't worry Murtle, I'll be bringing beer with me. Off licence is cheaper, smoking a plenty and rnadom accident based entertainment.

drunk
gayers

yeah, torches on mallets, murderin and burnin and shit…

t/Tynan will pop along if there's a good burning

mmmm . . .

Breath that in, man flesh.

Yeah I can.

What's the question, and what are the options?

i think the general consensus thus far is Thursday for the polo, but a poll asking what day is good for people. I think that's what they were pushing for.

count me in looking to ride with a crew living in hammersmith,brackenbury chopper

Dear Sir / Madam,

Come to beers tonight and meet the family.

Regards,

prav

thursdays is PUB night

What is wrong with pub/polo/frisbee/trixie all on one night at one venue ;-)?

lets sort it out before winter, thats if the sun will ever shine again?

And I notice from Prav's supermap on the Westie beers thread that the hospital is close by too!

in an attempt to keep serious cyclists/drinkers and wannabes (like me) apart, West London Polo should start on Wednesdays.
If this does not suit the majority of people then we can easily move it to Thursdays and still turn up at the pub afterwards at nine-thirty or so.. We need 6 people and some mallets. so far we have:
1 - provenrad
2 - B. D. Wayne
3 - NoMallets.
There has been some speculation about Wayne, Hippy and BRM forming a polo team for the tournament - skinny East Londoners beware!

i'd like to come and watch! not sure my misses will accept another bike in to the family!!!!
wednesdays is good for me!

not wednesdays that is south london polo, many people will probably like to do both

True! when i'm done with uni i'm going to be playing polo 3 days a week :D

True! when i'm done with uni i'm going to be playing polo 3 days a week :D

we can make it four days a week if we start a north london polo and you are willing to got to an enchanted land

aidan you coming to polo today?

thats not a bad idea...
no,im not going to be at polo today...essay to write. :(

me and hippy got game - westies play deathpolo…

Sweet, this is about a 5 min ride from my uni halls :) An excuse to sort myself out a polo bike :)

If this place turns out to be unsuitable - I'm not sure what it's like round there in the evenings as I've only walked through a couple of times - there's also this site, a few minutes from Charing Cross Hospital. Like the one above, it's sunk down into the ground. It'll need a sweep I imagine for riding in. Some friends and I have a kick about down there quite often and it's been fine.

^Good spot man! IC student, right?
I probed a few men last night and think we have a few more interested in Westie Polo - Seb + aidan, Wednesday has been tabled, but Tuesday is just as good for me? Everyone search for a hitting implement and lets reconvene after the weekend.
Peace.

Alright. Since anthony has abandoned this thread with a vengeance, I suggest Tuesday at the chosen venue for the inaugural W.L.polo game.
I think it will just be Aroogah and I jousting unless you peeps are up for it.
Anthony, wayno, jonny, dogsballs et al?
I have 3 mallets, might have 4 by then - please, please don't just come and laugh at us!
This wll most likely be a mess-around-session unless some angels with more mallets turn up?
Open invite to anyone who can actually play polo to teach us a thing or 2.

I think it will just be Aroogah and I jousting unless you peeps are up for it.

Oh...ummm...did I agree to the jousting? I thought that was beer fueled pseudo-macho piss-taking....Corny!!!!! for the record I blame you.

I'm down but I promise to bring entirely new levels of suck to this noble sport of kings.

No backing out now - the internet has spoken.
